it’s sewcialities day at bunny hill!
Are you doing the Sewcialities quilt along with The Fat Quarter Shop? There are some great blocks in this sew-along, and even if you don’t participate in the sew-along, I recommend printing them out and saving them in a binder. You may want some of these in the future, and they come in 12″, 6″, and 3″ sizes. Sampler style quilts are fun to make. I was having so much fun sewing away, I made this block in all three sizes, 12″, 6″, and 3″! The 6″ is always my preferred size block, but I’m also in love with the little 3″ size. My block is named “Peace,” and I…

A bittersweet year
2020 was a bittersweet year. So many things have changed for all of us this past year. Did you ever think you’d be spending a holiday on a zoom call? I could never have imagined this, and yet now it seems almost normal. As I look around my studio, I realize my Bunny Hill lock-down partners have been affected by this virus too. Bless their little hearts… Tweety and Chelsea spend the day with me.. Tweety usually sleeps in a little drawer, and Chelsea in her heated donut bed. And sometimes they switch beds just to change things up. Chelsea is a social dog, so I…

Scrap Bags and SVG Files
If you don’t know what an SVG file is, you’re not alone. A little over a year ago, I didn’t either, but when we started getting requests for these files, I did my research and loved what I learned. If you own a Cricut or Silhouette cutting machine, SVG files can save you hours of template cutting. My assistant Sue and I each purchased a Circut cutting machine and set about learning to use them. The end result is exciting! We have our first set of SVG files available for Country Christmas on our website! If there’s enough interest, we’ll have SVG files available for all of my new applique…
